Bought to carve rubber stamps. I'm a beginner. This tool is great to get started and see what styles work for me. It's comfortable for my hand and I'm able to get replacement blades w ease. I live in a hi humid area I highly recommend you leave a piece if chalk in the handle w blades as they tarnish. It doesn't affect the cut but thought you'd want to know. Take care.

This Halloween, I didn't want to carve my pumpkins in the traditional sense (cutting out holes in the pumpkin). I wanted to do more than that and the Speedball fit the bill perfectly. Sure, it's meant for carving stamps, but the principle is the same. It goes through the thick skin easily and requires little effort.

I was able to do a full face carving of Walter White (from Breaking Bad) in about two hours with this product. I was really impressed the results.

I wish they made the cutting tips out of stainless steel. That would really help cut down on the rusting.

Also, the collet is a bit difficult to use. The cutting tips tend to get stuck when unscrewing them.

We purchased this so we could remove some of the rind on our pumpkins but leave some behind so it would glow. Worked like a charm! The different blade options came in handy with some of the more intricate parts of our design.

We also like the storage in the handle and the fact that we could throw it in the dishwasher and it came out like new. This is a great little tool.

These pens are just awesome. Great selection of tips and I love the ink. They feel great while you hold them, but they are a bit small if you don't put the cap on the top while you use them. There are other brands of pens that might be cheaper for inking, but I have used many Faber-Castell products and the quality is just top notch and I really appreciate that. Definitely recommend this for Inking your drawings.

The pens work great, smooth, even flow of ink, no spotty coverage. However I am slightly disappointed in the strength of the ink itself. While it is indeed black, it covers the paper more like watercolor paint. If I want a solid black area without streaks, I have to go over it more than once. The ink coats more like a wash rather than pen ink. To really achieve a uniform coverage, I end up scanning my pictures into my computer and retouching them with a photo program to darken the black areas.

I have used the pens on two different brands and grades of paper Strathmore Sketch 50lb, and Bonjour Studios Acid Free 70lb. No bleeding on either type. However with the rougher 70lb paper, the 0.1mm pen does seem to "scratch" over the surface, but not very noticeable and still produces that incredibly fine line.

Overall, the pens suit the projects I use them for; they are great quality. I would have given a full 5-star rating if it weren't for the washed-out look of the ink.

I'm a casual comic-book/storyboard artist who has had some experience with inking pens.

These do a great job, they write smooth, and have very minimal bleed.

A great selection for the price too, the larger ones work great for filling, and creating backgrounds, where as the smaller ones can achieve very fine detail ( i.e. freckles, eyelashes etc.)

I had to have the box handy for a while till I remembered what style and size each pen was. Obviously some are intuitive like XS and M. But others like SB, SC, and F were new to me.

Overall a great set and highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Wallet Sets black set of 8

This pen pack is the perfect one for amateurs and professionals alike. While professionals will have their preferences (and they are usually expensive) these pens can be thrown in a bag or purse and taken alone with a sketch pad without issue. Their quality is more than you could ask for a dollar and change per pen. So I'd suggest that anyone who is looking for a starter set or a travel set pick these up. Even if you're buying this as a present to yourself of a loved one, these pens will help an amateur figure out which pens work best with his/her style, so that you don't waste money on more expensive drawing implements.

Maybe I'm just picky, but I find these templates very stiff and hard to work with. they describe how they are made to "curve" around the face easily....... Not in my opinion.... I wish I had just bought one at first to see how they were instead of ordering 5! Learned my lesson for next time I guess.

I'm very satisfied with the piping sewing feet. I use these for vinyl piping for tractor seats. It sure makes it easy.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Absolutely love these! The price was right, yet these are heavy, sturdy pieces. I've been making a lot of piping and these are a lifesaver. Here are a few extra tips. After I make my piping, I use a few dots of fabric glue to tack the piping where I am planning to attach it. After it's dry I sew my fabrics together as usual. Before turning the fabric right side out, I go back over the piping using one size smaller foot than what I originally used. The piping will be a little too big to fit down into the groove. I stitch around the piece again. This stitches so close to the piping that when you turn it right side out you will NEVER see any of your stitches exposed.

Another great set of sewing feet. I used it to make custom piping. and it worked beautifully. Tight up to the edge and did it fast. Sturdy construction and I like the variable sizes as I like to do more than just the standard size piping and welting on upholstery projects.

Making Piping just got easier, So I won't hesitate adding it more often to my projects for a professional look.

This stamp set comes with one sheet of raised stamps, and then the same sheet but not raised, if that makes sense. It's helpful for different projects because you can always use one or the other. The only problem I have is that the parts are so big, I don't use them very often, but I haven't worked with it too much yet.

I've been looking for these stamps for a while and when I found them on amazon they were reasonably priced and I went for it. Do not regret the purchase at all. The stamps are decent quality and will work perfectly for what I need them for. They are flexible and very detailed. There are care instructions inside. The only thing wrong with this was that it was opened when I received it, but that's really no big deal because the stamps were in perfect unused condition.

I bought one bag of silver and one bag of gold tone. They are not as pictured, the clear plastic is round and not flat and is very slippery. It easily slips right off the glasses. The metal wrap is lose and does not hold well at all so you can not adjust them to stay put. All in all they're useless and are now in the waste basket.

I bought this kit for our annual tie dye party that we have on Labor Day weekend every year. This dye kit doesn't come with the ash rinse like other kits that I have gotten, but works just as well without it. Just prewash your white shirts, and go for it. We got 12 shirts dyed with this kit, but they needed extra rubber bands for everyone to dye shirts at the same time. I would recommend getting your shirts damp before dying them, otherwise the dyes run like off of a ducks back. It had a harder time soaking into the material, but when you dampen them first, it soaked right into them. About six hours later, we just rinsed them in the kitchen sink with running cold water, and rung them out. They were them washed in cold water in the washing machine. How cool they turned out. My kids wore their newly dyed shirts to school the very next day! We got this kit and another kit that claimed to dye 8 shirts, and all together we only dyed maybe 16 shirts. You can never dye the amout the box intends, because most people put a lot of dyes on their shirts. This kit alone only dyed about 12 shirts, not 20 like the box says. It sure was a fun family day that we recommend for all ages above three years old. Kids need adult supervision, but they can do it themselves and love what the shirt looks like when they get it done.

I was very pleased with this kit. We bought the kit for my sons 7th birthday and the kids loved making the shirts. We all made spiral shirts and I was concerned about the lack of perfection with the twisting of the shirts and the haphazard application of the dyes, but they all came out great. I would recommend this as an outdoor activity or have cleaning products nearby to clean up any stains promptly. The kit states 20 shirts could be made, but it was more like 12 youth mediums. Still the shirts look great.

Best Deals for Tulip One-Step Large Tie Dye Kit, Ultimate

My family (and neighborhood children) used Tulip one-step tie-dye kits last summer. I found that to get vibrant colors that last I had to soak the shirts in a soda ash solution for 10-30 minutes, squeeze out the excess water, then use the product as directed. I then rolled each shirt in a plastic bag, let sit in my basement overnight, and rinsed/washed the next day (this may be in the standard directions). The shirts have been through the wash many times in the last 6 months and haven't faded.

Honest reviews on Tulip One-Step Large Tie Dye Kit, Ultimate

Easy to use and lots of fun. Used for a b-day party with 7 year olds. Plenty of dye to use for 12-14 medium t-shirts.

This an easy-to use product, the little bottles give you a great deal more control than the vats of dye we used when I was a kid! The colors available through Tulip are bright and remain brilliant as long as you follow the instructions. You can refill the bottles half-way through use(although, admitedly this will dilute the color a bit) to make the dye last longer. If you want to dye large areas it is best to use the wet dye method (apply to wet fabric) in order to have the dye bleed and spread through the fabric rapidly. If you want more control, apply the dye to dry fabric using the bottle tips. The only real problem was that the gloves provided are NOT adequate to protect your skin. I had resigned myself to having smurf-blue hands when I found a fabulous solution...MR. Clean Magic Eraser! Just add a little water and scrub, the dye comes off quickly and easily. Now that we have found such an easy solution, I think we will let the kids do this much more often. They love the creative aspect of it and I love that we can reuse old shirts that had gotten boring...just add color!
